The ASP Honorary Educational Associate is a distinction awarded by the Board of the American Society of Photographers to recognize outstanding service to the Society or exceptional contributions to the field of photography. Unlike the ASP Honorary Fellowship, which honors broader influence on the art and image of photography, this accolade is specifically service-oriented, highlighting individuals whose efforts have meaningfully supported the mission and advancement of ASP. This recognition may be conferred upon individuals regardless of ASP or PPA membership status and may also be awarded to those who already hold the Educational Associate or Fellowship degree. Reserved for those whose past service reflects uncommon dedication, generosity, and impact, the Honorary Educational Associate is a lasting tribute to those who have helped shape the Society through their commitment and leadership.
Whether you’re an experienced professional or a newly awarded degree recipient, ASP offers a community where photographic excellence is celebrated and elevated.
